Chapter 52: Ghost Island

After comforting the villagers and sending the woman away, all three of them stayed in one room to rest.

Red sat on the bed with her hands and legs crossed, and Chiba and Shisui leaned against the corner.

The candlelight flickered in the room, and the shadows of the three people swayed in the candlelight.

Red was about to talk about tomorrow's assignment when suddenly, a figure flashed outside the house.

"Huh?"

The three of them looked vigilant, and Zhishui put his hand on the short knife behind his back, ready to fight at any time.

Looking at the speed of the black shadow, it must be a ninja!

"Looks like we've been targeted." A faint smile hung on the corner of Chiba's mouth.

He glanced at Red and Zhishui respectively, and rushed out in an instant.

Chiba likes to take the lead, and sitting back is not his style.

In the originally quiet and peaceful village, a fog suddenly swelled up.

This fog is different from ordinary fog and has extremely low visibility.

Chiba jumped onto the roof of the house, looked around, and suddenly noticed that the black shadow was heading towards the sea.

His eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about whether to chase or not.

"Chase!" Red ran out and said quickly.

Chiba's figure jumped out, extremely fast, and chased after the black shadow.

Woohoo!

A few kunai were thrown directly and killed at the black shadow.

The black shadow glanced back, sensing Chiba's attack, and jumped underwater.

Chiba trampled on the sea, the fog drifted, the underwater undercurrent was turbulent, and nothing could be seen.

"This is the Fog Concealment Technique of the Fog Hidden Village." Red walked over and said with a solemn face.

"It could be the ninja of the Fog Hidden Village, or it could be the traitor of the Fog Hidden Village." Zhishui opened his mouth and said, "There is a great turmoil in Wuyin Village, and many families in the Blood Inheritance Limit have been washed in blood, and there are many rebellions. ”

"It seems that this time the task is not simple, we have been targeted, be careful." Red stared closely at the undercurrent beneath the surface of the sea and said in a deep voice.

Now it is the third ninja war, and there are many reninciants, even if they are on a mission, they are also dangerous.

The three of them returned to their huts and took turns to start the vigil.

Chiba couldn't sleep all night, and he had a feeling of uneasiness in his heart, and this feeling was very strong as time passed.

This feeling of uneasiness was felt before when I went to Yoshida Village to do my first mission, but it wasn't so strong!

"We are Konoha ninjas, even if it is the remnants of Orochimaru in the land of the sea, I am afraid they will not be stupid enough to come over and disturb us and expose them."

"That ninja is more like he's here to find out what's going on...... Could it be that what are they doing, afraid that Konoha will not know? Chiba's eyes flickered.

Most of the traitorous ninjas pursue power, money, and there is no conflict of interest, and when they encounter ninjas from the five major countries, they will hide far away.

That black shadow is not like a traitor, but also a ninja from Fog Hidden Village!

In a short time, the sky was already dark.

Both Red and Zhishui woke up, and Red said, "There will be a small boat going to the mother island at five o'clock in the morning, and we will take a boat to the mother island." ”

The Sea Country Ship that hired the Konoha Ninja will depart from the Mother Island and head to the Water Country in three days.

Their mission is to get the supply ship safely to the land of water.

It seems simple, but there are too many variables along the way.

The boatman who found the port, although the boat had already departed at this time, the boatman insisted on not going.

"My lord, the fog here is too big, it's not safe, wait for the fog to clear before leaving." The old boatman said.

The three of them waited for another two hours, but strangely, the fog in this sea area had not yet dissipated.

Red frowned tightly, it was not a way to wait like this.

Although the escort ship did not depart until three days later, it took time for the two sides to get to know the situation of the sea beast and water monster.

"Well, lend us the boat, and we'll go to the mother island ourselves." Red consults with the old boatman.

Seeing that the three were all Konoha ninjas, the old boatman did not dare to refuse, so he lent the boat to the three and gave the three of them a chart.

"My lord, you must follow the chart, otherwise you will go astray!" The old boatman specially advised.

So, the three of them took a small boat and quickly set out on the road.

Not long after they left, the old boatman just now suddenly turned into a ninja, wearing the forehead guard of the Fog Hidden Village, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "These fools from Konoha are really easy to deceive." ”

"Okay, let's go explore the Ghost Island, dog eat dog."

The charts he gave to the three of them were not going to the mother island at all!

Chiba took the chart and looked at it, and he noticed that the chart showed a lot of reefs.

"It doesn't make sense why there are so many reefs on the mother island." Chiba had a thoughtful look on her face.

"Is it possible that the land of the sea will choose an island with a lot of reefs as its capital?" Chiba looked at the two.

Zhishui was wiping the short knife, and Red was looking through the information about the sea beast.

Hearing Chiba's words, Red took the chart, studied it carefully, and then said, "Let's go and see first, can an old boatman still be able to deceive us?" But it's better to be careful. ”

The trio rowed the boat quickly, and a few hours later, an island loomed ahead.

The island is surrounded by reefs and mist.

"It's not like the mother island." Chiba stood at the bow of the boat, her eyes narrowing slightly.

"I'll investigate." Stop the water and seal your hands, "Psychic technique!" ”

A group of ninja crows flew out directly and quickly flew towards the side of Onikai Island.

As ninjas, all three were cautious and did not rush forward until they figured out the situation.

The ninja crow flew over shortly after, delivering the message to Shisui.

Zhishui pondered for a while, and then said, "There are no towns on the whole island, but there are signs of human activity. ”

"That is, this chart is a fake, and someone deliberately lured us to this island?" Red eyes sank, and then he said, "Let's go!" ”

Whatever the old boatman's intentions, it was clear that there was a danger to the island.

Chiba used the three shadow clones and began rowing desperately, preparing to leave this place.

However, at this time, the originally calm water suddenly burst into waves, and a huge submarine whirlpool formed, and the boat unconsciously floated into the whirlpool.

"There is an inexplicable chakra at the bottom of the sea, and we are being targeted!" Stop the water and open the writing wheel eye, and pull out the short knife.

There was an ambush among them!

Chiba's eyes flashed, and he jumped out of the boat directly, aimed at the whirlpool, and began to release ninjutsu.

"Thunder away!"

The power of the rolling thunder spread down through the seawater, and for a while, many fish turned white.

But the whirlpool did not stop, and the ninja who launched this ninjutsu may be at an extremely deep place at the bottom of the sea.

Seeing that the boat was caught in the whirlpool, Chiba became anxious in his heart.

If there is no boat, it will be too chakra to spend in the middle of the sea, and it will be a dead end.

"Water Escape, Water Dragon Bomb!" Chiba casts a water escape, and a water dragon wraps around the boat, pulling it out of the whirlpool.

The three of them stood in a small boat, swaying and shaking violently. But it was not swallowed up by the whirlpool.

"Water Escape, Water Iron Cannon!"

Suddenly, from the bottom of the sea, a cannonball was fired at the boat.

Rumble!

The cannonballs hit the boat directly, and the boat was shattered and sawdust flew everywhere.

The three of them jumped out of the boat at the same time, but they were still hit by the water and iron cannons, and they all suffered a little injury and were a little embarrassed.

At this time, the maelstrom stopped, but under the calm sea, there was a crisis at the moment.
